General Gemba Walk Checklist
This General Gemba Walk checklist helps leaders and supervisors conduct structured walk-throughs to understand work as it happens, engage employees, and uncover improvement opportunities. It guides users to record the site, date, department, and participants, then assess how teams work to standards, clarify goals, and suggest ways to improve the process. Prompts cover problem-solving, nonconformance flagging, root-cause analysis, next steps, and the tools and resources teams need. Continuous improvement sections capture daily priorities, intended improvements, and any questions for management. The checklist ends with observations, recommendations, and inspector sign-off to support sustained process improvement.
